Golf in Blackfoot

Blackfoot anchors Bingham County's agricultural heartland as Idaho's self-proclaimed Potato Capital, positioned on the Snake River Plain at roughly 4,500 feet between Idaho Falls and Pocatello. The volcanic soil and long summer days make the surrounding plain extraordinarily productive for Russet Burbank potatoes, traveling from here to processing facilities across the country. The Fort Hall Indian Reservation of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes borders the city to the north, making Blackfoot a community at the intersection of Anglo-American agricultural development and Native American sovereignty. The Idaho Potato Museum documents the crop that defines the regional economy, drawing curious road-trippers to the self-styled capital of Idaho's most iconic agricultural product.
